Accordingly, Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung assigned the Department of Planning and Architecture (the standing agency of the Steering Committee) as the focal point to coordinate with the Hanoi Institute of Construction Planning and related departments, branches and units to collect all relevant information to serve the research work and develop the Planning project for both banks of the Red River (at the request of the Sun Group Joint Stock Company).

The planning, architectural and construction design documents of previous consulting units that have been researched along both sides of the Red River have been handed over to 03 Investors (Sun Group Joint Stock Company, Vingroup Corporation - JSC, Hanoi General Import-Export Joint Stock Company) to provide to foreign consulting units for research.

The requirement for planning research along both sides of the Red River must be in the following direction: ensuring flood prevention, creating a modern urban area, effectively exploiting land funds, creating land funds for the City to create resources to implement the planning; prioritizing on-site resettlement; developing river transport and tourism; researching planning options for routes along both sides of the river combined with flood prevention dykes.

Study the planning according to 02 options, from which to determine the specific technology and techniques applied to the planning: Option 1: Planning the construction of roads and dykes combined to ensure the exploitation of land for urban development and maintain inner-city safety (flood prevention above alert level 3), replacing the current dyke line. Option 2: Planning the construction of roads and dykes combined to ensure flood prevention above alert level 2; in addition, planning the construction of a system of lakes and water collection channels to serve drainage to support the inner dyke line (current dyke) to ensure flood prevention above alert level 3.

The planning study is divided into 2 phases: Phase 1: Planning both sides of the Red River from Thang Long Bridge to Thanh Tri Bridge. Phase 2: Planning both sides of the Red River for the remaining section in the City.

Investors can invite more design consulting units to participate in researching and developing many planning options to be able to choose the most feasible option; the implementation progress must ensure the correct content of the City People's Committee's requirements in Notice No. 491/TB-UBND dated December 10, 2016 (review and select design ideas of consulting units before March 30, 2017).

The selected planning scheme is the basis for implementing legal procedures on planning and adjusting related tasks and plans; submitting to competent authorities for consideration and decision. Assign the City People's Committee Office to monitor, urge and report to the City People's Committee on the implementation of the above conclusions and directions.
